THE LEGISLATURE,

The biennial labors of the legis-
lature have drawn to a close, but in
the absence of data, as to its expiring
honors it is difficult to summarize or
speak positively as to its results.
That it has given us high license
law is certainly matter of con-
graduation, but that the law will be
effective in its object, remains to be
seen. 1t is not drawn with that care
which should characterize a law of
its scope and Importance, but there
is NO occasion at this time to pre-.
judge it. A fair trial will develope
its strength in all probability, and
certainly will its weakness. One
thing is sure it will not enforce it.
self, nor will it be enforced beyond the
moral sentiment of tho people.
Abuses and violations will be no ar
gument against the bill, but will
only reflect upon the sentiment In
which they occur.
The grain and railroad laws will
also require the proof of their value
by the test of experience. There is
broad margin for improving the re-
lations of the producer to the middle
man and the common carrier. This
legislature has not been as lavish of
the peoples money as the one which
preceded it, and yet there is room for
the executive blue pencil to do effect
i've work in behalf of the taxpayer.
The results and tho lack Of them
should convince every thinking man
that these limited biennial sessions
do not meet the requirements Of this
great and rapidly developing state,
and In providing for the submission

The village council at its meeting
on Monday evening adopted the
greater portion Of the joint commit
tee on street nomenclature substitute.
ing for that portion which lettered
the streets extending north and
south a series of names of trees.
Tho HERALD is confident this will
give better satisfaction TO most of
our citizens, Notwithstanding the
fact that the Board of Trade ap-
proved the system of lettering by a
narrow majority. The arguement
that unless some plan of consecutive
ness were adopted it would be i'm
possible, to learn streets by name will
rapidly vanish with the use of the
new names.

HOW IT WAS DONE.

Senator Keller's beer bill was
worked through the senate by a Sc
ries of tactics which clearly indicates
that the Stearns county representa-.
tion is no SLOUGH. The Globe des.
cribes it:
Senator Henry Keller of Sank Cen.
tire, simply walked over the high
license people accompanied by some
of his liberal colleagues and few
eminent converts, and he carried
through the senate by vote of Is to
IA HE bill for 500 lager beer H.
cense for the country. 1t was plain
to be seen that Keller's personal
popularity did much in assisting him
to gain this great victory. When
the bill was reached Senator Durant
was in the chair-to the great ad-
vantage of the Keller men, for as
soon as voting commenced about
fifteen senators were known to have
purposely concealed themselves in
committee rooms, SO as to Dodge the
bill.
Death, for lack of votes, seemed to
stare the bill in the face when the
last name upon the roll was called by
the secretary. Senator Bowen then
moved a call Of the senate, and re-
guesting that the names of all the
senators present and not voting be
recorded. The chair was about to
direct a call of the senate when Sena.
tor Brown arose to point of order,
viz: Call of senate could not be
maintained after voting had COM
nenced.
There was considerable by-play
about questions of order, all Of
which served for delay; and Senator
Keller and his friends took advant.
age of the opportunity and mustered
in enough senators to score twenty
five votes for it.
Senator Pope had voted in the
negative with a view to having the
vote recoDsi6ered should the bill fail
to pass, but when he saw that there
would be enough to pass it, he
changed his vote to the affirmative.
Senator Tosten johnson immediate.
ly changed his vote to "no" on a
"snap-game" principle, he suppssing
that Senator Pope had changed his
vote for the purpose Of making up
exactly the twenty-four votes. and
that he (Johnson) could get the
number back to twenty-three by
changing his own vote to the mega
tive.

VILLAGE ELECTION.

On Tuesday next there will be elect
ed full set of village officers, except
justices. including president, three
trustees, a recorder, treasurer. asses.
sor and constable. 1t is of the utmost
Importance that the council. consis-
ting Of the president, trustees and
recorder, be not only representative
men of enterprise, but broad, aggres-
sive and yet conservative. There
never was a time when the demand
for strong council was moro urgent.
Sank Centre has reached critical
period. and the position OF council
man for the next twelve months will
be no sinecure. A liberal. though
not extravagaBt policy is demanded.
This is not the time for niggardly
and picayunish administration. The
new license law will have to be en-.
forced, and, as in the case Of every
radical change, it will require firm
ness to secure satisfactory results.
Two new lines of railroad will doubt
less reach us this summer, and the
council will have plenty Of business
thrust upon it in connection with
them. Water works extension will
doubtless be demanded, and some
scheme will have to be devised for
making the burden of such extension
equitable. The Grand Army has
complimentea this village by select
ing it as the camping place, and
preparations must be made tor enter.
tanning an enormous cOncourse for
several days. In all these matters
the council will be called upon to act
SO that best results will follow. Our
village is just beginning to gain such
prominence in the state as will add
to its material welfare providing the
opportunities are wisely taken ad-
vantage of.
Again, it is to be sincerely hoped
the election will be so conducted as
not to mar the harmony which now
prevails to such a marked degree.
There never was time in our histo-
ry when the spirit of cooperation
for the common welfare had reached
such high water mark. We are u
compact, united and harmonious
community. May nothing in the ap-
preaching election occur to break
tins harmony. Each and every one
needs the assistance of all the rest to
carry on the good work so enthusi.
astically entered upon.

School Notes,

had high old time last Thursday
while the teacher was over to the
train on business. They did lots Of
visiting and talked over considerable
business not connected with their
studies in fifteen minutes. No rude
or disorderly conduct was shown, but
the time was not very we'll improved
in study.
They now see why the scholars in
the assembly hall do not behave bet
ter, The teacher who, has charge
over that room is absent most of the
time.
Oar next literary meeting is the
regular one for the election of OF.
ficers. Some Of the boys have
already prepared and are strongly
supporting various tickets. The
campaign promises to be hot one.
The girls were very indignant at
the bouncing club and declared that
it was the worst thing on record.
Finally, however, they talked some
of organizing a female bouncing club
but as no one took the lead the pro-
ject fell through.
The members of the choir are
rapidly dropping off one by one.
The honor of standing up in front
and leading the singing does not i'm.
press them as it should. They are
obliged to sit near the platform in
full view of The teach ers, which fact
may account tor the desire to change
seats. Department plays quite a 6g-
ure in the general average" of pu-
pills.
The scholars Of the high school
drew long sigh Of relief Thursday.
They finished the state examinations
on that day. After great deal of
worrying and special preparation
they found that there are some
things worse than estate examine
tions." Only thirteen weeks of
schooi are left in which to complete
the work of the year. and as there
are some branches of science, to be
commenced next Monday, the
time must be well employed.
The senior class had their photo.
graphs taken on Friday. The group
is considerably smaller than that of
last year. and therefore they should
be able to agree on pictures without
many sittings.
One of the boys of the senior class
h as decided to leave school on &C
count of business connections. The
class was small enough before, and
now only four remain. 1t seems too
bad that he should leave at this time.
However it is deemed best by him
and so he must be given up.
1t is decided that we are to have
new teacher in the high school, in
order that Prof. and Miss Num- may
have more time for extra work.
Both have been Obliged to hear six
recitations daily. during the fore
part of the year.
+ 1t is dangerous to be safe" around
the school house about z. NJ. every
day. The snow balls fly thick and
fast, and in every direction.
The high school teachers are again
bulsy over recitation programs.
Many of the Juniors intend to com.
plete the course in two more years,
and the members OF the upper classes
are making up back studies, so that
it is very hard to prepare an order of
Rotations in which some persons
studies do not conflict.
A number OF copies of the Psalms
have been procured for the use of the
school In chapel exercises.

Churches Broken Into.

Last Saturday night some evil disposed
persons broke into St. Henri's, the Mora
Wan and the Reformed churches, but it
has not been discovered that ANYTHING
was stolen. At ST. Henri's seven locks
were broken and an attempt made to- open
the poor box with the evident intention of
getting at the funds it was supposed to
contain. The lock of the sanctuary was
among those broken and the vandals
helped themselves TO the communion wine.
A blind was broken off from the Moravian
church and an entrance made through
the window. Persons were seen around
S.. Henri's church during the evening
and the sacreligious demonstrations are
thought to be the work of some young
men, old enough, however, to be above
such impious conduct.
